Possible you should rebuilt /dev/nsmb* files with "cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV
nsmb"? For my 2.0C:

mishka@nostromo:1> ls -l /dev/nsmb*
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   98,   0 Nov 24  2003 /dev/nsmb0
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   98,   1 Nov 24  2003 /dev/nsmb1
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   98,   2 Nov 24  2003 /dev/nsmb2
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   98,   3 Nov 24  2003 /dev/nsmb3
